NASA leader Raila Odinga has revealed secret details of his
plan with former IEBC Chairman Roselyn Akombe.
The former Prime Minister stated that he had been in
constant communication with the former IEBC commissioner right from the week
after the August 8 election.
Akombe had grabbed headlines after she was temporarily
detained at the JKIA as she sought to leave the country.
The NASA leader stated that he was concerned by the August
incident and called the former IEBC commissioner immediately after the
incident.
"We talked and she told me that they had tried to strip
her naked as they searched for any possible evidence and secrets of the
annulled Presidential poll,” the Opposition chief stated.
Odinga made the rather unusual revelations in Akombe’s home
county of Nyamira.
He added that he had kept in touch with the former IEBC boss
before he finally fled to the United States after purporting to travel to Dubai
to inspect the printing of ballot boxes.
"Her plan was very well calculated and she moved her
family and luggage ahead of the Dubai trip while tricking the rest of the IEBC
commissioners that she would join them only to land in New York," the
former premier claimed.
Akombe has indicated that Odinga’s withdrawal from the
presidential race was one of the reasons that led her to quit after some
of her staff was threatened while conducting training in Nyanza – a stronghold
of the NASA leader.
